Environmental mixtures of chemicals constitute a prevalent issue in ecotoxicology and the
development of new methods to reduce the uncertainties associated with their ecological …

This manuscript reviews the chemical ecology of two of the major aquatic animal models,
fish and crustaceans, in the study of chemoreception. By necessity, it is restricted in scope …

OrthoDB is a comprehensive catalog of orthologs, genes inherited by extant species from a
single gene in their last common ancestor. In 2016 OrthoDB reached its 9th release, growing …

We describe the draft genome of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which is only 200
megabases and contains at least 30,907 genes. The high gene count is a consequence of …

The concept of orthology provides a foundation for formulating hypotheses on gene and
genome evolution, and thus forms the cornerstone of comparative genomics, phylogenomics …

Orthology, refining the concept of homology, is the cornerstone of evolutionary comparative
studies. With the ever-increasing availability of genomic data, inference of orthology has …

Sex-determining mechanisms are diverse among animal lineages and can be broadly
divided into two major categories: genetic and environmental. In contrast to genetic sex …

Recently, we have witnessed an explosion of different genomic approaches that, through a
combination of advanced biological, instrumental, and bioinformatic techniques, can yield a …

The aquatic ecosystem is the final destination of most industrial residues and agrochemicals
resulting in organisms being exposed to a complex mixture of contaminants. Nanomaterials …

The genomics revolution has expanded from its origins in molecular biology to impact upon
every discipline in the life sciences, including ecology. Several lines of ecological research …
